I went to my local Petsmart today and saw a tank full of female betta fish. I had never see these before and they were quite beautiful. People were buying them by the bag full. The guy working there said that female betta make good community fish.

if you do the females in the ten gallon, id highly recommend putting 3 in it at first. if u have only 2, one will get very picked on. if you have 3, they disperse the aggression and start establishing the pecking order. then id wait a couple weeks, and only add 2 more. females grow between 2-3 inches. that IMO is enough for a ten gallon. make sure theres lots of plants and stuff for them to swim into to get away. before u add the second set, change the tank around a little bit so the first group thinks their in a new tank as well. its helps alot with the adjustment of new ones.
